So you want to provide a nutritious breakfast and save money this school year. And you don't have much time in the mornings. Hmmm... That can be a daunting challenge. Did you know that the following can all be frozen ahead of time?
- Muffins
- Egg McMuffins (yes, they can!)
- Breakfast burritos (scrambled eggs, sausage, salsa wrapped in a tortilla)
- Scones
- Quiche (bake/freeze crustless quiche in muffin cups for individual servings)
- Oatmeal (premeasure oats/water)
- Quiche mixtures (re-stir and pour in pan in the morning)
- Muffins (dry ingredients and wet kept separate until morning)
- Pancake mix
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Sunday: hard-boiled eggs, muffin/breakfast cookie, fruit (all is made ahead of time; this is our busiest morning)
- Monday: cold cereal with milk, fruit
- Tuesday: something egg related
- Wednesday: oatmeal
- Thursday: muffins, cheese stick or smoothie, fruit (our second busiest morning)
- Friday: cottage cheese pancakes or egg sandwiches
- Saturday: pancakes or eggs, sausage, and homemade biscuits

Betsy, great ideas. Seems like we need a total breakfast makeover each year when the school year kicks in. And you're right ... planning ahead makes all the difference!
Thanks for these ideas! I would also like your breakfast cookie recipe(s). It seems like we get stuck in a poptart/mini-bagel rut!
